Lambert Daneau : Politicorum aphorismorum silva

Anthony Grafton, in "Discitur ut agatur: How Gabriel Harvey Read His Livy," notes Harvey's reading of Lambert Daneau's Silva "of political aphorisms" (1583), "a now forgotten work by a Calvinist minister chiefly remembered for his unsuccesful attempts to impose a natural science based on the Bible on the Protestant curriculum, and a church order based on the 'Genevan Inquisition' on the liberal citizens and professors of Leiden." Continues: "Harvey's copy of Daneau has so far evaded discovery, but his references are so frequent and precise as to make it clear that thet were not conventional. He read the work as soon as it appeared, excitedly referring to its newness, and often praised it as a source of pungent and precise political axioms."

George Gascoigne : The Posies

[MARGINALIA]:'The discouerie of his mistress, a false diamant. His sicknes, & Jealosie did not help the matter, but did marre all. Woomen loue men: & care not for pore harts, that cannot bestead them. Especially at the returne of his ritual, her Secretarie; it imported him to empooue himself more, then before; & not to languish like a milkstop, or to play the pore snake vpon himself. Ladie Elinor woold haue liked the man and woold haue maintained his possession by force of armes, & with braue encounters beat his enimie owt of the field.'
